Trevor climbing

Crag: Trevor Quarry
Routes: My Route (VS 4b), The Fat Controller (S 4a), The Thin Controller (VS 4a)

A rather rushed climbing trip yesterday evening. Didn't actually get started on the first route until 7pm. Dale lead, up the centre of the main Trevor quarry face (My Route, VS 4b). It was a pretty unpleasant affair, very loose in places, although it did take an appealingly direct line. We then scurried off to the Railway Buttress, where I lead The Fat Controller - a short, easy, but pleasant S 4a. Simple bridging, well protected, leads to a little bulge and the top. Dale finished off with The Thin Controller (VS 4a) in fading light. Virtually dark as I seconded up it. Had a little jog before the climbing, and a jog back to the car - a very easy week in preparation for Sunday's marathon.
